Clinical
Ludens Strawberry Banana Throat Drops is an over-the-counter lozenge containing pectin, a natural thickening agent derived from fruit. Pectin is typically used in lozenges and throat drops to coat and soothe the throat and mouth. This product is marketed under FDA's over-the-counter monograph rules for demulcent lozenges, which means it follows established guidelines for this category of oral products rather than undergoing individual FDA review.
